Super solid spot for some Chinese food. Jingege and YaoYao is located in the extremely busy plaza and it feels like it's just getting more and more busy as the years go on. This shop is close to the corner of Wagyu Grill. Parking can be rough, especially on weekends. We came on a Friday night and waited about 20 minutes before getting seated. Tastes: Golden Char Siu: Super tasty. Meat was tender and lots of flavor. Recommended to eat with some rice as this does get a little salty. Peking Duck: Served traditionally with thin Mandarin pancakes, sweet hoisin, julienned cucumbers, and scallions. Super tasty. Skin was crispy and the meat was cooked to perfection. Salt and Pepper Chicken wings: The wings were much bigger than expected. They were fried really well and I enjoyed it. Stir-fried Green Beans with Minced Pork: Needed some greens to round everything out. They give a lot more pork than one would expect! Overall, a great place for Chinese food! They have a more extensive menu than what I've tried, including the Chinese fish dishes that have been up and coming such as saurkraut fish. read more

Holy cow this place gets packed! We came on Monday right when they opened at 11 am (memorial day) , we were luckily the first ones in bc after 10 minutes a huge crowd stormed in and the restaurant was full. Servers are extremely fast and attentive! They give you an iPad where you can browse the menu and order yourself which is a plus, love that! The food, we got the half Peking duck. Presentation 10/10, however the skin was no crispy and it was very oily & fatty. Got tired of it after a few bites. For $40 it was not bad. We also got the charsiu pork, good flavor but wish it had more meat than big fat chunks. Again too fatty and got tired of it quickly. Lastly we got the honey ribs, they were good and sweet. Overall some items we got were just to fatty but would come back to try other menu items! read more

Jingege & YaoYao - Peking Duck (half) - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Not sure how different the quality would have been if I ate at the restaurant, but I ordered a crispy roasted duck rice plate for takeout and it was just ok. The bone-to-meat ratio felt pretty high and the quality of duck just didn't seem as good as a different place I had recently. The big portion of its sides that came with the plate was a plus. The location is in a pretty busy plaza that can be hard to find parking at times so expect it to be busy in there. read more

Tried coming here on a weekend once and it was packed so I went on a weekday instead. The interior is kind of odd; there are very bright colors. The service is quick and the food took a bit to come out. The duck is very fatty and they give a decent amount too. The skin is crispy and the duck is soft. For about $17, it's not a bad lunch. read more

It's always busy whenever I pass by and it was no different when I went on a weekday night! They basically have two menus in one - Jin Gege focuses on Hong Kong style BBQ (like roasted pork belly, duck, soy sauce chicken) while Yao Yao is Sichuan with dishes like spicy boiled fish and beef. You order off a tablet, and they also serve free hot tea, which is always a win. We mostly stuck to the BBQ side and tried the rice plates. The 2-meat rice plate was $17, and the salt baked chicken plate was $15, which felt pretty reasonable. The Macau roasted pork belly was my favorite - tender, crispy, and not dry at all The chicken was also nice and tender. The duck was okay but a bit bony and could've had more meat. We also tried the duck noodle soup. The noodles and soup on their own were pretty bland, so it's better to pour the duck and maybe the sauce into the soup. The duck by itself was a bit too salty, but combined it worked better. For appetizers, we got the deep fried shrimp rolls and they were sooo good. I'm a big fan of pig ear, so I had to try it here! The flavor was good, but the numbing spice was intense. I've never had it that strong before like my mouth felt crazyyy. For dessert, we got the Chengdu oolong jelly and milk custard with fresh mango. The oolong jelly was light and refreshing, but I liked the mango milk custard even more! read more

First time trying this place. It's bright, spacious and clean inside. Once you sit down, they gave you a tablet to order. Then everything gets confusing on the tablet menu. It's not organized by food categories combined by Jingege and YaoYao. It's by two different places - "Jingege" and "YaoYao". They each have their own menu and food category. For example: we wanted chicken wings. Found one chicken wing dish under "Appetizer" in one menu and another different chicken wing dish under "Main Entree" under another menu. It's very hard to find items back and forth switching between two names. That led us ordered the wrong dish. Also, the menu on the window shows that they have Iced Fruit Tea, however, it is not shown in the tablet menu. I even asked a waiter to help and he couldn't find it in the tablet either, so it wasn't available to order. There is some discrepancy between the menus they stick to the window outside vs. the menu in the tablet once you actually sat down. In addition,, the tablet menu inside has a lot of dishes than the menus they display on the window (to show people outside). Besides the confusing menu, the food is decent. - Roasted duck: Delicious with crispy skin. - The XO sauce rice rolls (cheung fun): rice rolls are soft with tasty XO sauce. - Crispy chicken wings: crispy and good, but we were hoping to order the salt & pepper chicken wings originally if not because of the confusing menu. - Minced pork with egg plant clay pot: tasty but super greasy. - Crispy tofu with soy sauce: Taste much better than they look. Crispy outside and soft inside. - Salted fish with chicken fried rice: ok, not enough salted fish flavor. It's kinda bland. Food portion is good in general and everything comes out piping hot. read more

I looove the soy sauce chicken here. Like... wow. The sauce is so good I honestly feel like I could drink it lol. The chicken comes out with that perfectly glistening skin that's coated in the most flavorful soy-based sauce. Every bite is juicy and tender, and what really surprised me was how soft the breast meat was too. Usually breast meat can be dry, but here it's incredibly tender and full of flavor. Another must-order for me is their mini fried tofu. These little bites are so delightful -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and totally addicting. I kept reaching for "just one more." Everything tasted super fresh and comforting. This is definitely one of those places I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm craving really good soy sauce chicken. read more

Jingege & YaoYao - 2 meat combo rice plate (crispy pork and char siu) - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

First, make sure you wear some shoes with a lot of tread because their floors are slippery! I think the washing fluid they use is too concentrated or something...almost slipped walking in and out. The decor is cute and fun--who doesn't want to sit in some pink chairs? There's frequently a wait here too, and most of their BBQ items get sold out by the evening dinner rush. I heard the duck was really good, but unfortunately missed out and had to settle: Soy sauce chicken: This was nice and meaty; one of my parents' favorite things to get here. It's also flavorful and comforting, just like how a good soy sauce chicken should be. Ong choy/Tong xin cai: I think it's sauteed with fermented shrimp or something, but whatever it is, it's delicious! Still a bit crunchy but the leaves are soft enough to soak up all the delicious garlicy and sauce. Sour fish (not spicy): My mom actually prefers spicy and says the spicy is actually very very mild, but this one was really good too. My dad thinks it's very sour (in a good way), but I have a high tolerance and think it's just right and more on the salty side. The fish is sliced thinly and delicately, and the texture is soft but not mushy, making it very easy to eat a lot of without getting tired. Chili fish (forgot the actual name): This uses the same thinly sliced fish, but with looooots of peppercorn and other goodies to make it taste like mala. It's not too spicy, but your tongue might hate you a little if you try to drink the broth and end up crunching on 10 of the peppercorns floating around. Ultimately, I see why this place gets such a long wait. The food is incredibly flavorful and delicious; the kind that makes you eat a lot without knowing until you're stuffed. They also offer an array of delicious HK desserts and drinks. I'll definitely be back to try those. read more

We were planning to visit another restaurant in the plaza but decided to eat here after seeing how popular it was. We came right before 12 on a Saturday, so we expected the wait but we actually got a table after 20 min of waiting. We ordered the HK styled soy sauce xu one, crispy roasted duck, suan cai yu and togo'd a braised beef brisket with radish to take home. Everything was delicious! My boyfriend really liked the soy sauce chicken and said the meat was juicy. I personally really liked the crispy roasted duck! Overall, food was great but the wait for food once we sat down took awhile. read more

BBQ combo for lunch with the BBQ pork and roast duck. The roast duck is good, flavorful and even tastier with the sauce. The amount of food could feed me for 2 meals. I heard they were first opened in San Leandro, signature dishes are the HK style BBQ. But personally I'm not a fan of their BBQ, thick cut meat, no problem, a bit too burned on the top is my complaint. Love the soy beans that came with, so flavorful when soaked into the BBQ soy sauce. The veggie choy sum are also cooked in some soy sauce, making it a great complement to the white rice. Their drinks are made from T4. read more

Jingege & YaoYao - Bbq combo of bbq pork and roast duck, and peach jello red bean coconut milk drink - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Swarms of Asian aunties can't be wrong! This restaurant serves some of the best Cantonese/HK style barbecue you will ever eat. The Peking duck features crisp skin, juicy meat, and all the accoutrements (and a very generous number of thin pancakes, which I appreciate because many places only give you a few). If you order this, please do yourself a favor and get the duck bones in the salt and pepper format instead of the soup. This preparation is not offered everywhere, and their version is excellent and probably the best bite of this meal. The only qualm I have is that the food is not served hot. I know that the style of barbecue is often served at room temperature or just slightly warm, but it cooled down so fast that it was hard for me to eat, and so I took most of it home. (That might not bother others, but I have such a weird finicky thing about temperature and don't like to eat anything oily, greasy, or fatty below a certain temperature because the texture bothers me. YMMV. The duck bones were served freshly fried and crispy, though.) Also, the tea, which is I know is supposed to be served hot, was sadly not. A little toaster oven and air fryer time made for a delicious dinner and leftovers the next day read more

Heard good things about this place and decided to give it a try. The decor is modern and bright. You can see all the BBQ meats on display as soon as you enter the restaurant. The three of us ordered the Yaoyao Combo with Sliced Beef in Hot Chili Oil and Boiling Fish, their Signature Stone Pot Spare Ribs Rice, and Build Your Own Duo BBQ Platter with Golden Char Siu and Soy Sauce Chicken. The Yaoyao Combo was huge and quite flavorful. The Signature Stone Pot Spare Ribs Rice was very tasty. The BBQ platter was good but the taste was not quite Hong Kong style. All in all everything was decent and portions were very generous. Service was good and staff seemed pleasant and friendly. Prices were very reasonable and affordable. read more

New restaurant in this busy plaza. They don't have a display for their name but called jingege and yaoyao. 2 types of cuisine in one! Hong Kong (jingege) and Sichuan (yaoyao) dishes. Bright and vibrant setting inside and can see the Chinese BBQ right when you walk in. Ordered via iPad and had quick service. Started off with the golden soup pickled fish. Pretty big bowl with lots of fish and a small batch of noodles in the middle. Tasty soup with some slight sour flavor. On to the HK style dishes. We got the combo BBQ dishes which had roasted duck, chicken, and golden char siu. All the meats were high quality, tender, and tasted fresh. But they were all on the salty side and needed rice to help with the saltiness. The roasted duck had a crispy skin but was drenched in sauce for too long making it salty. Chicken was soft and wasn't dry. Char siu didn't have that sweet glaze flavor you typically get from a traditional HK place. Wonton soup was very average and almost plain. Didn't have that clear broth. Sweet and sour pork was delicious. Crispy pork and tangy. read more

Jingege is decent, but didn't fully live up to expectations. The food has good flavor overall--especially the sauces, which are rich and fairly well-balanced--but some dishes felt a bit inconsistent. The char siu had a nice chewy texture, but a few items were either slightly too oily or lacking depth compared to what I was hoping for. The suan cai yu had a good aroma and mild heat, but didn't stand out as much as expected. Portions were reasonable and everything came out pretty quickly, so no complaints there. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for--more of a 3-star, middle-of-the-road experience. read more

My favorite restaurant of all time! The menu is endless with so many delicious options from their BBQ section to their sour pickled fish soup dishes! The best authentic Chinese food I have had in a while! The service is also fast and efficient! The servers give you tea/water to start and an iPad to look at what is on the menu! Bonus points for having photos of each food option!! Inside is super colorful with chairs, tables, and booths. Sour Pickled Fish Soup (5/5): perfect amount of seasoning, fish texture is so bouncy Crispy Tofu (5/5): comes out hot and crispy, light seasoning read more

So many options to choose from but it seems like they are most known for their roasted bird options which you can always see hanging in the front of the store. We tried a variety of meats and all were really tasty and juicy. Each had a lot of flavor and it paired very well with the scalloped fried rice and a leafy green. Def will return to try other dishes. read more

I had a decent experience! I'd love to come back again in the future because they were completely sold out of duck, charsiu pork, and soy sauce chicken at 3 pm :( I would recommend the Beef Brisket Rice Rolls! These are pretty oily, but so flavorful! A good portion size and super tender beef. I enjoyed this! The Golden Suancai (large) was indeed REALLY LARGE! This was enough for 3-4 of us to share comfortably. The flavor of the broth wasn't as sour as I had hoped. The fish, lotus root, and sauerkraut were delicious though! read more

Came by today for our second visit to try some more dishes and all were great again! We got the char siu and roasted pork belly again and I was glad that the char siu was less salty this time. The roasted pork belly was still really salty but both meats were very soft and tender as before. My partner tried the soy sauce chicken and he said it was very juicy and a nice break from the other meats since it was the least salty. The crispy tofu was super light and had an almost silken tofu texture inside. My partner thought it was a bit bland but I personally thought it was great since everything else is pretty strong in flavor. The star of today was definitely the green beans. They were crispy and had a great meaty flavor with the minced pork. read more

Very busy and bustling. Straight from shenzhen is this combo restaurant - Cantonese roast meats. And pickled veg fish. In one place! While I like the pickled veg fish dish here and you can tell it is very high quality, I didn't find it exceptional. I probably prefer tai er (better quality) or even Wei's fish / fish with you better (better selection). The roast meats however, are the star of the show. The char shiu is very tender and flavorful (albeit fatty), and I also like the crispy pork belly. Would definitely come again, even just got the char shiu read more

A restaurant that serves both Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine. What an interesting concept! We don't have many places that specialize in Cantonese style barbecue in the neighborhood, so my husband and I were pretty excited to try. The design of this restaurant seems more like a chain rather than a mom and pop shop, but I'm not complaining. The restaurant seems relatively clean, the teal/red color contrast is fun, and the menu is extensive. It has the vibes of a no-frills diner where service is quick and to the point. The patrons can also get loud (a little too loud for my liking during my visit). On our first visit, we had to try the some of the barbecue. We both ordered the barbecue rice plate with our choice of two meats. My husband got the char siu and roasted pork belly while I got the soy sauce chicken and roasted duck duck. I thought the flavors of all the meats were delicious, though I thought the meat was pretty skimpy on the roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. My husband said the seasoning of the char siu tasted more Chinese style rather than authentic Hong Kong style. The roasted pork belly had nice flavor and good crunch. I also ordered the dumplings and enjoyed it. The dumplings were juicy and the savory broth had a prominent white pepper kick. Overall, I enjoyed the food on our first visit here and would like to come back to try more of their menu, especially the Sichuan dishes. read more

For starters, pretty authentic Cantonese/HK food. Loved the aesthetic and felt right at home. Service was attentive, but both times we went they forgot an item. For the price, it is reasonable! Food: I thought the Peking Duck was average, though I generally don't like Peking Duck. Thought it was a lot of skin and barely any meat. I tried the honey BBQ pork and I thought it was a solid 10/10 Chow Fun was solid but nothing to rave about. Sour fish soup was solid 10/10! Parking sucks, go there early. read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and it was pretty busy, but the wait wasn't too long. I got seated in about 10 minutes, which was nice. We ordered the roasted duck and the suan chai yu. The duck was flavorful, but ours didn't have much meat and was mostly bone. I still see the potential though, so I'd definitely give it another try. The suan chai yu came in a huge portion and could easily feed 3-4 people. It wasn't as sour as I prefer and was a bit on the greasy side, but I still enjoyed it. Overall, this is one of the better Chinese restaurants I've been to, and I'm excited to come back and try more dishes. read more

By far the best Chinese bbq I've ever had so far. The long waitlist backs my statement too. I had the luxury of eating roasted duck for the past 28 years but I have never experience an explosion of wet moisty meat juice when taken a bite into it... I never even knew it was possible. You have to get this duck. I wanted my second meat option to be the roasted pork belly but they ran out. I then knew this was the popular meat to get. I then opted for the char siu and it was also pretty good, with good portion and seasoning. The sides also complimented the dish very well too. Need to go back for that pork belly. read more

Jingege & YaoYao - Two roasted meats with rice (crispy roasted duck & golden char siu) - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

We've been to Jingege & YaoYao in San Leandro. Now, they have a location in Milpitas! They take over where Loving Hut used to be located. This location has a bit more selection of dishes than the one in SL. The parking can be challenging especially on the weekends. The restaurant's two color scheme is to show the two different restaurants but you can order from either menu using their kiosk that they provide for you when you sit down. Booth and table seating available. Two separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. Be careful, as the floor can get slippery especially on rainy days. Service: The service is very friendly, helpful, and attentive. They do offer hot tea or a carafe of ice water. Food: We ordered the following... Soy Sauce Chicken (half order, 3.5/5) . The sauce was good. Though, the chicken was chewing than expected and didn't come off the bone as easily. Beef Brisket Rice Roll Pot (4/5). The rice rolls were tender and soft. The brisket was flavorful and tender. We both liked this dish. Steamed Rice (4/5). Long grain rice nicely cooked to absorb all that delicious sauce. I am so glad this location is closer to us. read more

Small wait and greasy floors. Sour fish is lighter in flavor. The duck is solid but I like the bbq pork best (char siu) for its intense soy flavor.

4.5!! Very yummy. Came on a Wednesday night and there was no wait but the restaurant was busy! Lots of tables inside. Interior is super cute and pastel colors. You order on the kiosk and you can toggle between the two restuarants Jingege and Yaoyao. Tip: if you go to your order at the checkout tab and click on the photos, you can customize further (less spicy, certain cuts, more lean/fatty, etc.) Got the bbq combo with the duck, pork belly, and cha siu, the braised brisket clay pot rice rolls, and the pickled fish!! Out of the meats the cha siu was definitely the star, not overly sweet, there were thick cuts of meat with good fatty pieces too. The duck and pork belly were a bit salty for my taste but still good! Pork belly had the super crispy skin! The fish was still a bit spicy (we already adjusted less spicy/less oil) but the fillets were perfectly cooked and the soup was flavorful. The rice rolls had such a good charred flavor and the beef brisket was super tender and had good fatty pieces. Portion sizes are also pretty big!! read more

Took my grandma here for lunch and she loved the place so much we had to come back and buy some dishes for dinner. Overall the food was good, The bbq pork was slightly on the saltier side but their duck was so so good. We also got their sweet and sour fish and eating that way was new and good. As for the veggies, nothing was special about them at least for me, but they were good to say the least. The star of the dish for me was the onion beef (or pork?) as the celery didn't have that celery taste and the rest of the dish paired well with it. I liked that it had a small kick and it reminded me of Mongolian Beef which I am a big fan of. As for the service, it was good. They responded to our requests almost immediately and were polite so no complaints there. It was definitely busy as it took us a bit to get seated, but the environment was good. Lots of people were talking and enjoying the food and sharing memories with one another. I would definitely come back to this place and maybe try out some of their szcheuan dishes or some of the dishes that's on the walls. read more

Delicious bbq meats! The soy sauce chicken and salt chicken are good but the roasted duck and char siu are bomb. Roast duck has a crispy skin and char siu, albeit a bit on the fattier side, has great flavor and char. Went for dinner on Wednesday night, a bit hectic and busy. Servers are helpful and kind but might need to be flagged down as they're always in the middle of something. read more

Food was really really good. The cabbage was sooo good and the meats were also delicious. The fried rice was also great and I like how they cut up the beef so theres some in every bite. All the dishes were very rich in taste but that made them very delicious. The charsiu was super sweet and I loved the beans that came with it. Service was okay though, they were a bit slow during the lunch rush and a little chaotic, but maybe its because they had opened recently. The store is nice and clean! Its very casual and fast paced though. I like the design and look though, it feels very modern! read more

An interesting restaurant concept unfortunately tainted by a bad experience. I arrived as a party of 5 on a Sunday at around 1pm and waited about 30-40 minutes to be seated. Once we did get seated and looked at the ordering tablet, we realized everything on the bbq meats section was sold out! While I understand the restaurant is undoubtedly popular, the fact that they just let their 5 most popular dishes run out not even 3 hours into their day's service is hilariously bad, especially since this is what they're known for. The worst part is, we were not told that they were out/were expected to run out at any point during our wait. We decided to sunk cost it and eat here anyways, but it was such a waste of time and I personally would've walked out. They're open until 8pm so I assume they have to restock at some point, but at the very least let people waiting to be seated know! As for what we did get, they were just ok. The chow fun was somewhat bland and the tomato fish was really ketchupy and sweet which was not my thing. The suan cai yu was good but nothing standout. The best thing we ordered were the salt and pepper chicken wings. Unfortunately I'm writing this review while still pretty upset about the whole situation, so at present I don't think I will be going back or I will only stick to getting their BBQ meats togo. read more

Delicious Cantonese BBQ and other dishes. We ordered a variety of dishes from the Cantonese side of the menu. On the other side they have I think Sichuan or maybe northern Chinese food? At this location the wait time to get seated on a weekend took a bit of time. We wanted to try the roasted pork but they ran out of it so we settled for the bbq pork and the roasted duck rice plate. The bbq meats were delicious but I wish they gave a couple more pieces of duck. We also ordered fried tofu, fried chicken wings, beef chow fun and fried rice. Over all I think the bbq meat rice place, the fried rice, fried tofu and chicken wings were the best. The beef chow fun was ok not the most amazing but not bad either. Value was good because the serving sizes were generous for the price. The place looked nice and the wait staff was nice as well. I would definitely come back to eat here. read more

I stopped by Jin Gege and Yao Yao for dinner and tried the soy sauce chicken and fish stir fry. The soy sauce chicken was tender, with a rich soy flavor and it wasn't too sweet. It goes well with a bowl of rice. The fish stir fry was tasty, and I liked that the celery stayed nice and crisp. The restaurant is casual and the service is quick. You order through a tablet. Prices are reasonable and the food came out hot and yummy. It's a great spot for comforting dishes. I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu. Bonus, they offer a free Suan Cai Yu on your birthday! I took a photo of the promotion. It's dine-in only and you need to show your ID. read more

Newly opened next to Shihlin snack shop. Draws in the crowds with a wait around 20 minutes. You add yourself to the waitlist on the kiosk. There is only one kiosk. Had a birthday lunch for my sister. The place is trendy and modern. They have 2 gender neutral bathrooms. You order from a tablet. They have a slew of food, desserts and drinks to choose so be prepared by looking at their paper menus while you wait. The food came out promptly after we finished each dish. Their hot tea is good. We ordered the pork belly, stir fried lamb and stir fried green bean and pork. Rice you will need to order. Pork belly skin was salty and lamb was thinly sliced and flavorful. It wasn't too spicy. String bean wasn't as spicy either. The dried spice adds another flavor to the dish. Be sure to drink each time you eat that dish. Speedy and courteous service. Booth seating doesn't leave much space scooting in. I ordered their soy sauce chicken to go and it's definitely their #1 dish. I will return to try the rest of their dishes. Overall 4 stars. read more

Noticed this new restaurant open in Milpitas Square and decided to give it a try. They were extremely busy on a Sunday afternoon and I still had to wait even after placing a phone order (30 minute total wait time). I wanted to order their Macau roasted pork belly and crispy roasted duck, but they were sold out. Instead, I got their HK soy sauce chicken which was really tender and flavorful. It came with a pretty generous portion for a half size and paired well with rice. I also ordered the roasted pork tofu clay pot which was also really tasty.

Arrived super excited for dinner at 8:30 PM on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant itself is spacious, brightly lit, clean, and beautifully designed. Unfortunately, the Golden Char Siu and the Macau Roasted Pork Belly dishes were already sold out - which was incredibly disappointing.

I've been waiting for a chance to come to Jingege and YaoYao. It's two menus and themes in one restaurant. I chose the Jingege menu for dinner. Inside was a full house but wait was only around 10-15 minutes. Be careful when walking inside, it is super slippery. After getting a table, our waiter came by with a tablet for the ordering process. It's great because I could see pictures with the item names. Every staff who helped our table was friendly and quick to respond. I ended up ordering crispy tofu, spare rib stone pot, split dish with Peking duck and char siu, dumpling soup, and double skim milk custard with lotus seed for dessert. The food comes out when they're ready, no particulate order. The crispy tofu was really crispy and lightly seasoned. I used the drippings from the char siu to add more flavors. The char siu had a lot of flavor but also a lot of fat. Peking duck had a good amount of meat. The dumpling soup was also very good with a nice herbal flavor to the soup. The stone pot was really hot which was great except it took a long time to crisp up the rice, but overall very good dish with the spare ribs adding a savory sauce to the white rice underneath. There are still so many items to try and there's still the YaoYao side to try. We are definitely coming back. read more

Tldr everything is salty (like me) but also tasty I came twice in the past month to try new things. My favorite thing is the roasted pork belly. The meat offerings are all delicious (except the salt crusted chicken I havent tried it yet) but everything is also on the saltier side. The rice is a must but if you love salty foods then it's fine. The duck also deserves a mention as the meat is very tender and the skin is super crispy and fatty. It usually sells out by dinner but if you get lucky there will be some left. I also tried the sour fish soup. My friend and I ordered the small so we could try more things but it's about the same size as a large from 7fish or whatever it's called. A pleasant surprise. The fried tofu snack is mid. There is something in the breading that is weirding me out but my friend thinks it's fine. These are all my thoughts for now. I am food coma-ing as I'm writing this from the salt. I will be back to try more things. read more
